OPB830W51Z

The OPB830W51Z is an optical slot type photointerrupter that utilizes an effective optoelectronic gap distance of 4 mm in order to detect the presence of objects. The sensor is designed to provide an output signal from the onboard transistors when an object is detected. As such, the OPB830W51Z can be used to detect a variety of objects, including detection of movement or orientation changes in machines or automation equipment.

The optical principle of the OPB830W51Z is based on an iternal optical source emitting an infrared beam which is received by an internal photodiode. When an object passes through the optical gap created between the two components, the receiving photodiode is blocked, resulting in an output signal from the transistors. This output signal indicates the presence of an object and can be used in automation equipment and machines for precise detection of motion.

The OPB830W51Z is a reliable optoelectronic device that can detect a wide range of objects at distances ranging from 4 mm to 30 mm. In addition, the device is resistant to interference from bright ambient lighting, as the LEDs are internally shielded. The sensor’s design also allows for a space-saving installation, as the device occupies a smaller area and requires less wiring. This makes it an ideal solution for automation and robotics equipment.

In addition, the OPB830W51Z is able to detect objects with speeds up to 2 m/s, making it suitable for use in applications such as conveyor belts and optical readers. The output of the sensor can be connected directly to an input of any microcontroller or other control unit. The sensor’s output is also non-directional, thus it can be used in any orientation. The OPB830W51Z also features a simple 2-wire interface and is protected against reverse polarity, making it a versatile and reliable optoelectronic solution.

Overall, the OPB830W51Z is an effective solution for detecting objects using an infrared optical beam. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, from automation and robotics to optical readers. Furthermore, its small size and simple 2-wire interface make it an optimal choice for space-saving installations. In addition, the sensor’s high speed detection and protection against reverse polarity make it highly reliable in a range of environments.
